OZschwitz: Gun-toting anti-Muslim 'crusader' at lead of United Patriots Front

A central figure in the anti-Islam street movement the United Patriots Front is a self-described "biblical crusader" with a long history of posting videos to social media in which he poses with semi-automatic weapons and threatens to take up arms against the Government and Muslims.

Chris Shortis, from Victoria, is one of three spokespeople in the United Patriots Front's leadership team, and has spoken at recent rallies in Bendigo, Richmond, and CBD.

But his online statements are similar to those of far-right Norwegian mass murderer Anders Behring Breivik.
